    Great review! I have a number of TFO rods including a 10 wt Esox.
    If I win this rod it will be part of my annual fall musky trip to MN.
    If I don’t win, I’m going to purchase this rod.
    Thanks Gunnar and thanks TFO.

    I love TFO rods! Great rods for the price, great warranty program. That's why I run all TFO rods in my boat, had a client break 2 rods on a trip, not at all the rods fault, and had the replacement parts within 4 days.

    Great to see your in-depth review of the TFO BC 10 Wt Big Fly rod…it’s one I have been looking at for chasing big Northern Pike here in Canada and you put it through quite the workout, much more than any of us could to to try the rod…thank you Gunnar and thank you TFO for designing this rod.
    Only this that would have improved your review would have been a musky taking one of your flies so we could have seen how well the rod works in fighting big fish.
    Tight lines

    Gunnar, thank you for this review I have been considering a Pike/Musky rod and the TFO is on my short list. There are no fly shops near me so I have to rely on reviews and luck when I purchase rods. You have a very informative channel and you are such a good host. Keep up the great work and thank you again for teaming up with TFO for this review.

I really appreciate how every opinion or bit of instruction you put out is thought through so thoroughly and in detail. I feel a lot of the influential people in our industry are sharing opinions that are tragically under-thought. Glad to see you’re being part of the solution! Keep up the good work.

    One thing I have always loved about your videos is your ability to articulate why you like certain things, or why certain things work better for you. This was no different, and I appreciate that! I’ve been eyeing the BC Big Fly for a while, so it may just be time to pull the trigger and add one to my collection.

    Always been a big fan of TFO, and glad that this comes with a tube. I've had a few of their trout rods, and every one came with a sock but no tube. Honestly, that's been my only complaint. And I do know how comments and replies work! (Unless it's obviously a scammer, that's been going around lately)

    @davidrodrigue527 11 місяців тому

    Again and always Gunnar, thank you. Every video you’ve made has been an honest, no-nonsense, educated and extremely useful wealth of information that you generously share. The effort you clearly invest in all of it, and the sincerity of it, does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. You certainly do bring an immense amount of information and experience to a community that has the privilege of learning from it freely. With such a detailed and complete review, never quite saw one that good before, it’s hard to not feel extremely confident about wanting and needing that rod. I have never commented on a video before, anywhere. You’ve just made me do it for the first time, and my motivation was to thank you. So thank you :)

  • @ADKMuskyFoolonFly63
    @ADKMuskyFoolonFly63 11 місяців тому +1

    Wow another great lesson from Gunnar. More than a rod review, this video is loaded with many pearls on how to use this rod in a variety of situations. The beauty of this rod is versatility with a wide range of use with a variety of modern streamer lines for a variety of predators. Enormous value in this rod for the price. Big bang for the buck. As always, thank you Gunnar for sharing your wisdom and expertise. I appreciate more often the pearls of wisdom than the product info itself. 37:42

    Just want to give my thanks as well. Watching your videos more than I'd like to admit to really learn your mechanics has really improved my experience on the water more than I could even express in this comment. I was the guy over powering everything and probably on my way to eventually hurting myself. You should honestly be a fly casting teacher. The review was top notch more detailed than any I've seen in the past. Keep the content coming man it is awesome and much appreciated.

I've never used a rod of this strength before ( 8 wt switch rod is the strongest I own ) , but it looks like it sure would be fun to try & learn to fish for bigger game. Thank you !

    Keep it up Gunnar and well done to whoever is lucky enough to win this awesome rod (I would also love to own it 😉) 👍
